Medicine has existed for thousands of years, and Nigeria has not yet had enough Medical Doctors. The course is quite tedious to study but as a graduate, the pay is compensating. A doctor may not earn as much as 500,000 Naira\u00a0per\u00a0month at entry-level, but in the long run, will earn even more.<\/p>\n
Government employed Doctors have so many privileges attached to their title, they have preferential treatments than any other Nigerian graduate, they have less work to do as there are many of them in a hospital, thereby giving them enough time to run their private businesses. Medicine is, therefore, number 1 best course on this list.<\/p>\n
The above courses are the top 10 best to study in Nigeria because its graduates are sure to get a good job\u00a0immediately\u00a0after graduation.<\/p>\n

A lot of things scare students away from this special course. Many people regard it as very hard, but the truth is that no course, even the one without any promise of employment is easy. And because of the decreasing number of professionals in this area, the demand has increased. Here is good news for you – the old stereotype of referring to Mathematicians as ‘grumpy’ and ‘nerdy’ is completely fading away! Apart from the aforementioned, an important question that comes to mind when considering studying maths is what one can do with it after graduation.<\/p>\n
There has probably not been a better time than the present to have a degree in mathematics. Recently, the interest in quantitative methods is expanding into new areas such as medicine, psychology, and advertising, etc, and today it is more and more common to find math majors in hospital settings, financial establishments, marketing, and so on. Law and medical schools look favorably on math major applicants. In response to the industry\u2019s request for a more mathematically educated workforce, graduates with bachelor’s degrees in mathematics are hired by many types of firms, high tech and communications among them, although the job description might not explicitly mention mathematics.<\/p>\n
Other firms actively recruiting mathematicians include engineering and computer companies, banking, science, and financial consulting firms, as well as biomedical and imaging enterprises. And don’t forget, mathematicians can as well make good businessmen.<\/p>\n

Geologists study earth processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous to people. Geologists work to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged. It is important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, evaluating water resources, understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and for providing insights into past climate change. Geology also plays a role in geotechnical engineering and is a major academic discipline. In a country like ours where oil exploration is a big-time venture, it places you in a good position to penetrate the much sought-after oil industry.<\/p>\n

Law used to rank top in the list of best courses but with the rate of corruption in our country, law firms are beginning to be less patronized, hence law is gradually losing its glory, high demand, and returns. All the same, it has not gotten as bad as losing its place completely on the list so one can still make a comfortable and above-average living with a bachelor’s degree in law. The very important point to make here is that you need to cultivate good reading habit and study hard so as to make a good lawyer, else it could be unfortunate.<\/p>\n
